I have lived my life determined not to ''age'': I see nothing aspirational in the dependence of old age, whether it be on other people, government in all its forms or the NHS. I'm prepared to put effort into this: it's not the cosmetic image of youth I seek, but rather the ability to do as I do now - running a business, regularly walking for miles in our glorious countryside and enjoying life - for as long as possible. So far it's working out, but what else could I do and ''why'' does this work for some people and not for others?

I listened to an audio download narrated by Suzanne Toren. Listening was a pleasure, but I took the unusual step of actually buying the physical book whilst I was still listening to the recording. Toren manages the scientific side of the book well and can even make lists and URLs sound interesting but there was a lot about the book which I wanted to mull over, to consider what changes I wanted to make and it is easier to do this with the printed rather than the spoken word. You might be better at absorbing the spoken word than me, but even when I'd bought into the principles I found that there were still points which I needed to explore in more detail. I'd like to thank the publishers for sending me a copy of the audiobook. There is a PDF to accompany the audiobook which does give more details, but I didn't have access to this.
